Thanks Ian,

I've down loaded the info - looks like quite a lot of work you have put into this.

When do you need the money for the Gdansk site and tour?

I had a quick look at the route ect. last night and found some differences from your info.

My satnav & Goolge give the distance from Osebos to Magdeburg as 540km rather than 450 and the distance from Magdeburg to Szczecin as just over 300km rather than 400.
Also the raod north of Zawory as route 211 rather than 219.
Which maps are you using? - some alignment of maps & routes may be a good idea by our team leader nearer the time.

Any comments from Mr. Parkin?

Payment for the siteis due immediately.

I used a combination Googlemaps and a Collins Road Atlas for distances. Depends which route you take I suppose. Mr Parkin (Keefysher) will be routefinder general and will see to your every need.

Hi All

Well I've sent off my form to the campsite at Plotzky and just come off the phone to Szczecin who have confirmed my outward night and also told me that they are expecting us back on the Monday - so thats OK. :D
But have any of you made bookings for the rest of the return journey yet?

We have not decided if we are joining you in Holland or Germany on the way out yet let alone deciding on the return route through Germany :-k - Are the camp sites in Germany easy to get into without booking? or do we really need to select a route and book in advance?

Hi All
We aim to join the convoy at Camping Marina outside Szczecin and have booked there for 29th & 30th July and 4th August. We are having a birthday celebration :lol: - all invited but bring your own polish(ed) food and drink \:D/. We are really looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hope we have the right site - taken from an earlier briefing. On the return we would like to tag on to the returning convoy and have booked one site again according to the brief.

Incidentally, I'm labelled an apprentice but did my apprentiship behind the bicycle sheds over fifty years ago and have had our bongo for 2 1/2 years.

Good bongoing to all.

The plan so far is to freesyle it & meet up in Holland with the rest of the Bongoleirs on the 28th..

Do you need a deposit for Poland?
